(8,439 posts)that the people that voted for trump, whether working class, poor or otherwise need to be shamed for their stupidity. You acted like right wing hate radio and other offshoot media just like it don't play a big role in their stupidity and you would be dead wrong. Once I stood up in the middle of my co-workers and asked any of them to tell me something about our politics other than what they have heard on rush limbaugh to raise their hand, and not one did. I'll even go as far as to say anyone over the age of 50 that isn't a millionaire and voted for trump are in the same category. They listen to bullshit on the radio and Fux news all day and vote accordingly. These voters are told they are smart for bashing liberals. Now you can argue that the dems need a better strategy to counter the right wing propaganda, but the "telling working class people" the truth about what's being done to them obviously isn't working very well, nor has it for the last 35 years. The propagandists with the most money are winning the war with the batshit craziest stuff I thought I would never see in our society. it's going to take a lot more than telling these people what is good for them to get them to realize they are F'd.
